Verse 1:
He said, "Son,
Have you see the world?
Well, what would you say
If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun.
and you’ll even get paid."
I said, "That sounds pretty good."
Verse 2:
Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair
but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight
Chorus:
А hero of war
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s the flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
Verse 3:
I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
bag over his face
From his family and his friends
Verse 4:
They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again
Chorus:
А hero of war
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s the flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

Verse 5:
She walked
through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away
Verse 6:
The shells
jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed
with a flag in her hand
А flag white as snow
Chorus:
А hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it’s a flag that I love
It’s the only flag I trust
Outro:
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
